<p><b>Dead Lift into Clean</b></p>
<p>Key Points:<br />
• Remember this is very explosive movement utilizing the hips, legs, back and shoulders.<br />
• Keep the back tight and flat throughout the lift.<br />
• The bar’s trajectory should move only in a vertical plane. Don’t swing it out and around; rather jump it straight up.</p>
